MVP concept
A local discovery experience centered around curated maps:
- Browse maps → view place details → save → follow
- Minimal contributor flow to keep content alive
MVP scope
For users
- Browse curated maps
- View place details (basic info + tags)
- Save places
- Follow maps/creators
For contributors
- Create a map
- Add places with notes/tags
- Lightweight recognition signals
Not in MVP (intentionally)
- Social feed
- Full reviews/ratings ecosystem
- Ads/paid placements
- Heavy gamification
- Advanced moderation tooling
Reason: validate the core loop and content health before expanding scope.
